[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7427599, member: 79141"] [b]Session 54, Part One - Back to Life (Back to Reality) Back to the here and now, yeah.[/b] The unit found themselves back in the Waking, in the High Bayou, many hundreds of miles from anywhere. It turned out that the Voice of Rot had banished all their allies along with them, including the Great Hunt and a bewildered Mista Nyves. At once, they shot off two sendings: one to Torfeld Palace to warn King Aodhan of the ‘shadow’ Thisraldion spoke of; another to Stover Delft to warn him about Stanfield, and tell him that the Ob now had control of Borne. Their initial plan was to make haste for Flint and confront the Governor. Andrei felt sure that Stanfield must know where to find Isobel: he had been there when Andrei was abducted and forced to serve Nicodemus (along with the governor’s two henchmen, Festoon and the man in the stove-pipe hat, who he now knew had also kidnapped Isobel). The Great Hunt said they needed to rest, and Riffian insisted that they must present themselves to the King of Risur to apologise for this accidental intrusion. But the unit decided that they needed to move at once: they had been in the Dreaming for almost a month! Better to arrive exhausted than too late. The Great Hunt could make their own way to Slate in due course, while they headed for Flint at once. Leon tried teleportation, but as he suspected it would not work. The waves that had previously disrupted it were now overwhelming, rippling back through time from some cataclysmic event in the future. Uru discovered that it was too hard to access the Bleak Gate and [I]shadow walk[/I], so they would have to use [I]phantom steeds[/I]. Leon focused very hard on the ritual, to ensure their steeds were as swift as those of the Hunt. While he performed the summoning, two replies arrives to their sendings. They were identical: “Everything is in order here. The king has relocated to Shale for safety. Your orders are to proceed to Shale at once.” These replies were not encoded, as they had previously arranged. Korrigan felt certain they were false, which meant the Ob was already tracking them. Meanwhile, Gupta used Nicodemus’ Obscurati ring to learn his whereabouts: he was in Cherage, in a host body. She used the same technique on Stanfield – he was in Flint, preparing a ritual. This galvanised them still further – but Gupta then remembered that the ritual would not work unless the king was killed; that their ‘new age’ could not come into effect in Risur unless he was removed. Curious, she decided to try to locate Catherine Romana (whose body was missing when her faction was killed on Mutravir). She was in Slate, still very much alive! In the end, they decided that defending the King was their priority, but they would not wait for the Great Hunt. When the steeds were summoned, they mounted up, only for Riffian to declare that the hunt would not be left behind. If the unit could keep going despite their long journey and battle with a titan, so could they! The journey to Slate was arduous, and passed in a blur – from midnight to midday.
